sibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV con-

verter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for

cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference

to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning description oth-

erwise required in item 5.

6.Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by

for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the video

product and to protect it from overheating, and these open-

ings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should

never be blocked by placing the video product on a bed,

ing label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to

your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power

company. For products intended to operate from battery

power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This video product is equipped

with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable

system is connected to the video product, be sure the antenna

or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection

against voltage surges and built-up static charges.Article 810 of

ing a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall out-

let and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will

prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and

power-line surges.

16. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be locat-

ed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power

lines or circuits.When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such

power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

The following will help you to understand easily how to record to DVD discs.

Note:

Make sure batteries are in the remote control and you have connected this unit and the TV correctly.

Step 1: Choose a disc type

There are several types of recordable DVD discs to

choose from. Choose a recordable DVD disc type

based on your playing/recording/editing reguire-

ments. See “DVD disc types” at the bottom of this

page for more information on the differences

between the different kinds of compatible media.

This DVD recorder can record on the following

type of discs.

* This unit cannot record on the following discs.

• DVD-RW Ver 1.2 / 2-4x CPRM compatible

• DVD-R General Ver 2.0 / 8x

ly on the same disc, or when you want to edit the

disc after recording, select the rewritable DVD-

RW type disc.

When you want to save recordings without any

alteration, a non-rewritable DVD-R can be your

choice.

accessible, with simple procedure of choos-

ing a title on a chapter in the menu screen.

which are possible only with DVD-R/RW discs.

• Setting pictures for thumbnails (VR mode)

• Setting/clearing chapter markers

• Deleting parts of titles or scenes (VR mode)

You can edit the recordings in Playlist without changing the original record-

ings. Playlist does not take up much disc space.

What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?

Throughout this manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer to the actu-

al content and the edited version.

• Original content refers to what’s actually recorded on the disc.

• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the disc; how the Original

content is to be played.

ent DVD player- without finalization it will not be playable on another player.

•

After finalizing a disc if the recording was in video mode, you can not edit any

information that is on that disc.

• If you have recorded in VR mode on DVD-RW disc then editing is still per-

mitted after finalizing.
